wayne?

your selling though?

Well it looks like that is never going to happen and no way on this earth I am selling it for £1500, so going to try a few more mods, have some more fun for a few more months and then maybe look at selling it then or keep it.

I know this would be ideal on a NA car, but as well know the air gets heated up insainly by the turbo straight after? then cooled by the intercooler before it reaches the inlet manifold. what i just did was fit a powergasket made by neuspeed which is a performance gasket for the inlet manifold and not the crappy standard one which creates heatsoak . the powergasket lowers inlet temps along with a decent FMIC surely that is what will make the difference?

so is there any point cooling the air a couple of degrees before it gets heated up by the turbo?

buy some 2.5" tubing and decat.
SAI delete
N249 bypass
Charcoal canister delete
Catch can vented to atmosphere

Some of those ideas have got me thinking  :grin:
